Telangana Political JAC convener Prof M Kodandaram on Saturday called upon the people of Telangana to participate in large numbers in the "Chalo Assembly" rally on June 14.
Talking to reporters after releasing the poster of "Chalo Assembly" rally here, Kodandaram said that the Telangana could be achieved only through unity and continuous agitation. He said that the proposed "Chalo Assembly" rally would prove to be a milestone in the movement for Telangana.
Referring to the resignation of two Congress MPs - G Vivek and Manda Jagannatham, the JAC chairman said that the Congress party did not react to the deadline set by two Dalit MPs over the Telangana issue. Contrary to this, Eluru MP Kavuri Sambasiva Rao was convinced by Prime Minsiter Dr Manmohan Singh himself when he threatened to resign after he was denied a berth in Union Cabinet. He said the discrimination between the Seemandhra MPs and Telangana MPs of the same party clearly shows what the Congress party stands for.
Kondandaram also accused Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy of making irresponsible statements on the Telangana issue. He said that the culture of setting deadlines over Telangana issue was started by the Congress party itself and it was irresponsible on the part of the Chief Minister to condemn the Dalit MPs for doing the same.
